The Muslim holy month of Ramadan during which believers fast from dawn till sundown began last Saturday 27 May. Hisham Abdel Hafeez, Head of the Board of Directors of EgyptAir services, announced that, during Ramadan, EgyptAir would be providing some 3000 hot meals for iftar, the meal which breaks the fast at sunset, and another 3000 for sohour, the last meal eaten before dawn after which the fasting of the following day begins. The meals will be available for everyone working at Cairo International Airport and at EgyptAir Holding Company, as well as to all companies, departments and sectors affiliated to them. These include the General Administration of Cairo Airport Police, EgyptAir Hospital and a number of other related companies.
The meals are provided at competitive prices and a small profit margin. They feature traditional Ramadan food, dessert, and drinks such as hibiscus and tamarind.
Mr Abdel Hafeez added that a prompt system has been put in place during the month of Ramadan to ensure that the high quality meals are delivered in a timely manner and suffer no shortages, whether served on EgyptAir flights or on other airliners served by EgyptAir at Cairo International Airport.

Reaching Out

Watani started as an Egyptian weekly Sunday newspaper published in Cairo. The word Watani is Arabic for “My Homeland”. The paper was founded in 1958 by the prominent Copt Antoun Sidhom (1915 – 1995), who strove for the establishment of a civil, democratic society in Egypt, where all Egyptians would enjoy full citizenship rights regardless of their religious denomination. To this day when Watani is published as a weekly paper and an online news site, the objective remains the same. Those in charge of Watani view this role as a patriotic all-Egyptian vocation. Special attention is given to shedding light on Coptic culture and tradition as authentically Egyptian, this being a topic largely disregarded or little-understood by Egypt’s media. Watani is deeply dedicated to offer its readers high quality, extensive, objective, credible and well-researched media coverage, with special focus on Coptic issues, culture, heritage, and contribution to Egyptian society.
